"The Long Road from Kandahar is a novel that is at once heartbreaking and uplifting, and its focus on the themes of war and loss, love and friendship across cultures is both topical and timeless: a powerful story from a writer operating at the height of her powers."
Jane Johnston
"Interweaving the devastation exacted by war on the lives of two boys ... this blistering story shows how no one is remote, connecting rural Cornwall with the Swat Valley of Pakistan."
